How to Save Your Hair

Over the last three years, I have abused my hair. I have dyed my hair excessively, used harsh chemicals like bleach and developer, and straightened it almost every day. By the end of high school, I had to cut it from its medium length waves, to an A Line bob. I also quit dying AND using the flat iron, but it felt like no matter how much I rested my hair, it didn't help. Until I found the L'Oreal Total Repair Extreme Shampoo and Conditioner. I have been using the shampoo and conditioner, as well as the Total Repairs Multi-Restorative Dry Oil, on my hair for the last week, and already my hair looks and feels way healthier! It is getting back to its natural shine, and I'm addicted to running my fingers through my, once more, silky hair. (Thank you L'Oreal!) I was really skeptical about trying this, seeing as I've tried several different things over the past five months to save my hair from further damage and restore it from previous damage and nothing worked. I actually felt like everything I used made my hair feel worse. I tried the John Freida Frizz Control spray, hoping it would help me protect my hair from my flat iron for a while, but it didn't work. I tried various oils (including olive oil and coconut oil treatments), and shampoos and conditioners. Nothing worked as well as the L'Oreal is working now. I remember picking up the bottle in the store and thinking "I have nothing to lose, I might as well try it. But first, I have to smell it, because if it doesn't smell good, there is no way I'm putting this in my hair." I smelled it, and then proceeded to buy it. Not only does it do what it is suppose to do, but it smells amazing as well! For anyone who abuses their hair, I suggest you go grab some of this incredible shampoo and conditioner.

High School Dances

Now, not many teenagers nowadays may be aware of the fact that when attending a formal, or semi formal, event, there is an unspoken dress code. Girls, semi-formal events require more clothing than the micro dresses you so love to wear. Yes, they are pretty. Yes, they are comfy. No, they are not always appropriate. Just because it's tight and sparkly doesn't make it appropriate. You should wear something that leaves a little more to the imagination. You should wear a dress that comes at least mid-thigh. Make it frilly, lacy, sparkly, or whatever, but it should not be skin tight and barely covering your bum. Just because a dress is more modest, does not make it less beautiful or you less stunning. What it does do is make you look like you actually respect yourself. 

Formal events require floor length dresses, or gowns. Yes, floor length dresses, (gowns), are a little more modest than some girls nowadays might be accustom to, but if you find the right gown, I can assure you that you won't feel like a Princess. You will feel like a Queen. Gowns are my absolute favorite. Call me biased since I'm going to be a fashion major and I love to design gowns, but I don't care. Gowns are gorgeous, they are confidence in the form of clothing. The right cut, and the right color, (along with some glittering accessories), can flatter any body shape. I should know, I don't have the most amazing body ever. Take this gown for example: 

 

This gown is not the most modest, but it is still perfectly appropriate for a formal event, like Winter Formal or Prom. When it comes to gowns and dresses, it is very hard to go wrong. Be creative, but please, wear appropriate attire. Have fun with it! You'll look stunning. Try looking at: http://www.tbdress.com or http://www.ericdress.com
